X2 on that John! Great looking car and looking forward to seeing.What some of us are doing is hitting both shows. Friday at Frederick and Saturday at Carlisle plus my ol' 69 Nova L78 survivor I sold in 83 is on display.

Dosen't Eaton supply to the various dealers? Would they not be the most correct?

When I checked with them on restoring original leaf springs I found their hardware not to be technically correct plus I found one of our original main plies was cracked through the center hole. If I remember correctly Eaton mentions the hardware issue up front. A good friend purchased his from Heartbeat and the only major difference I could detect from originals was the missing GMC embossed logo found on the side of many leafs. Due to that review and discussions with East Coast Muscle Cars (they knew of several cars with them) I purchased a set from Heartbeat for our 68 restoration.

Chick, I saw yours and the ones on eBay, wondered the samething. Jon's answer above explained the reason for the differences. I broke down and sold my Smog System, after Jerry was here a few years ago, we had talked about putting the headers back on over the smog, he agreed, with the cowl plenum, headers were the better choice.

Did you send yours out to get coated or do the yourself?

Thanks,Paul

Sorry for the delay in answering Paul as I was away for a couple days the end of last week..... Jerry recommended a guy who turned out was only about an hour away so I went that route. By the way just finished making my own set of repro white header gaskets. Used a picture of an original set to model after.

Dave, I am not sure where you live however I have a very very clean 1968 camaro subframe there is no pit or rust on it at all I have owned it for 19 years it is in my heated and cooled basement, it does have some dents on the middle cross member (maybe from jacking) the mount hole are perfect it is from California, The best part is you can have it for free if you come and pick it up and promiss not to sale it for profit, it is free for your 68. The lower control arm bumps are correct for 68 camaro only. You don't even have to paint it there is not a scratch on it! other than the the bottom dents it is the cleanest I have ever seen, it is a bare subrame. I live in North Carolina.Paul

Now that is what makes this hobby and the meeting of other car people so great. Good on ya Paul!

Welcome aboard first off and what a neat car you have secondly! congratulations........Unless you plan on having the car judged I would not get too upset about the stickers as for the most part that is what everyone has been using and not very many know what is correct or not but as mentioned it would be wise to at least check and see what is correctly available. If you check Don's website you can see what he has to offer. Welcome aboard again!

Thanks Mike for the pics as that is the first repro molded pad I've seen. Have to admit I was hoping it would be a little closer but it is still far better than the other plain non-molded pads. Hey, liked your black socked feet as well.....

I would have bet money that others members would have commented by now especially when this is not a very well known fact one way or another. If you see this JohnZ what do you have on your Z and know about what they did back then. Others please?
